for some reason i really like freestyle 2 on writing on the wall. to the point where i'd still say it's in my top 10 of 2009 just because of how many times back to back i played it when the tape dropped

odd because that's an unusually tough chorus to rap along to, imo
― Jacques_Lamure, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 02:04 (fourteen years ago) link
practically my only IRL convo about gucci has been w/ my sister-in-law who was kind of disturbed that "i'm a dog" is the most popular song among the 5th graders she teaches in southeast DC
― some dude, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 02:16 (fourteen years ago) link
i talked to two 11/12 year olds at a park about gucci after i overheard them talking about him - i probably posted about it itt
also i had a few cursory conversations with my irl friends who read music blogs after they got wind of the shrimp top 50 thing, but they didn't see too interested

more like wale & kid cudi
― nog right (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 03:41 (fourteen years ago) link
& old wu-tang albums
man that's what i dont get, how do kids big on wu end up digging wale and cudi?
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 11 November 2009 03:42 (fourteen years ago) link
wu-tang is probably the most popular rap group of all time amongst stereotypical white people (along with maybe snoop & dre) — ESPECIALLY indie rock fans — so it's pretty easy to see them buying into the 'new class of rap stars meme' surrounding wale & cudi
in lots of respects wu-tang serves the same fanbase as like the roots even tho wu rap about drugs & murder and all that - they have the nerd/geek vibe to them that basically every other legendary gangsta rap artist/group doesn't
― nog right (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 03:46 (fourteen years ago) link
and wu are seen as very cerebral rap which is how guys like cudi & wale were marketed

basically, ppl are stupid
― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 03:52 (fourteen years ago) link
basically there's a huge percentage of hip hop fans that are basically groundhogs that poke their head out every now and again when there's a lot of hype for something, but most of their time see their shadow and go back to bumping 36 chambers
― some dude, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 03:57 (fourteen years ago) link
that's basically how i overuse the word basically to an extent
its funny tho -- supreme clientele was like what, #87 on pazz and jop the year it dropped?
― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 04:03 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't get the feeling that ghost solo records are that big of a deal to these people - i think it's like al said, lots of old wu listening (and like new lupe records)
― nog right (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 04:07 (fourteen years ago) link
it was #14 -- big critix touchstone from the jump (xpost)
― some dude, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 04:08 (fourteen years ago) link
huh never realized.
j0rdan's post is totally wrong tho -- those are exactly the ppl who are apeshit about ghost solo albums
― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 04:09 (fourteen years ago) link
u might be right

rings sooo true :(
the only IRL conversations i've had about gucci mane are with hip-hop journalists and djs. jordan, a while back one of your friends posted an amazing take on the "gorgeous" lyrics on your fbook which gets stuck in my head as often as the actual lyrics - "i keep hearing voices/telling me to eat, so i buy hershey's kisses" or something.

idk what my gucci top 10 '09 will be but i pretty much know that "my shadow" will top the list. the backing ad libs, the way the intensity just rises and rises...such a great song.
something like "foreign" should be a mainstream single, not trash like "spotlight"

bricks...bricks...bricks...rats...rats
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:08 (fourteen years ago) link
<3 foreign, but it's too weird to be a mainstream single imo. it's so throbbing and almost droney in its ungrooviness, it could almost be a madlib beat.

lex its 'racks' -- a rack is $1000
― hoos-kingofthedrugs (deej), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
lol thx
"rats" kinda fits the backstreets paranoia of it all though!
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i love how drake's verse in "street cred" is mixed real quiet, makes it much easier to ignore. mike fucking slays his verse
― k3vin k., Thursday, 12 November 2009 02:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm not sure if i'm 100% behind street cred. they sound so exhausted, like it was 3 am at the studio and gucci was like "okay, fuck, alright, i'll do another take" and that's the one they picked.
― samosa gibreel, Thursday, 12 November 2009 06:30 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that song is only okay - i mean the chorus is dj drama shouting - i love dj drama shouting as much as the next guy but

yeah i mean it's a pretty average song with a good gucci verse and a fire killer mike verse
